Well done mate. 6 Cup wins in a row & 7 of the last 8 is an amazing effort. What's next for you? Taking a shot at the B3 title?

Thanks mate. Didn't really expect it this season but very happy to keep the streak alive with a win over Mr Moneybags :P

I'm no chance at the B3 with my current team and there are people in the B3 who can afford a lot more salary than i can so i'm looking at refocusing my team a little bit in the coming seasons in a couple of different ways and hopefully coming back a more efficient bball machine. We'll see how it goes.

Brilliant work and that is one great win for the rebels vs the Evil Empire. "Obi-Wan KenDireWolf you're our only hope."

What's the deal with wages? I was looking at Venomous Scorpions & they have like 1.4mil in wages or so. Are they running at a massive loss or is the fact that they dominate a smaller nation like Iran giving them enough crowds/coin/merch etc to make a roster like that a feasible thing?

Oh an i always imagined llama was more of the Chewbacca type!

Venomous Scorpions are the Emperor, "Blow up my Death Star? No problem I'll build another." Bryce Gibbs is the local baddie, perhaps Jabba the Hutt. Coachnoodles reminds me most of Admiral Akbar. Zazz is obviously Princess Leia, I suspect yodabig could be...hmm...

I've heard of merch revenue being up to 220k or so for some teams which can be a bit difference maker but it's impossible to be able to have a team of 1.4mil and still be under your "salary cap". B3 these days seems to basically be about who has the most money so it's kind of a tainted title in a lot of peoples eyes.

I personally wouldn't feel like i'd achieved anything if i did that (not that i have the money to anyway!) but different strokes i guess....

Fair call - i did the math on his arena and he is pulling in around 550k a week for his games so it's not much more than me or any other ABBL team i imagine.

What' s the deepest run an Aussie team has had in B3?

Season 5 the Tasmanian Eagles made the top 32.
Season 7 the Avalon Jest made top 16.
Season 16 the Black Label Society made the top 32.
Season 17 WA IS A DUMP made the top 32.

So Avalon is our best ever!
